Moreover, within the Big Camphor Tree Base, aside from the greenhouses, there are many underground plantations distributed across the forests of the inner and outer cities.

So, even if all the greenhouses are destroyed, the underground plantations can still produce food.

Hearing Ding Jiu’s response, Li Yu also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The typhoon outside was still howling fiercely, and after staying on the second basement floor for a while, Li Yu went up to the first floor.

Being where Li Yu lived, it had been built to the highest construction standards even before the outbreak of the Doomsday, with double doors leading into the hall.

Even the glass was made of King Kong glass, very strong in hardness and ductility.

The windows and doors of the entire villa were tightly closed, and with a surrounding wall around the villa area, the pressure on the villa from the typhoon was reduced.

The first floor remained the same as before, unaffected by the typhoon’s ravaging.

Li Yu slowly went up to the second floor, the third floor, where the windows made a loud noise.

They seemed unable to withstand it, yet they still held firm.

Li Yu leaned close to the window, looking at the outside rain through the glass and iron bars; it wasn’t falling from the sky, but flying horizontally.

These rains, carried by the typhoon, crazily surged forward, seemingly aiming to destroy everything.

Li Yu quietly sat by the windowsill, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

The room lights weren’t turned on, making the space appear somewhat dim.

Li Yu sat by the windowsill as the wind and rain whooshed past behind him, with a bit of light shining through the windowsill.

From the doorway, Li Yu’s silhouette appeared entirely dark.

Only a flicker of spark in the middle.

As Li Yu took a puff, the burning tobacco illuminated his face slightly.

Then it slowly dimmed again. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

A few seconds later, a thin mist of smoke blew out.

Outside, the storm raged violently, the doomsday typhoon rampaged fiercely.

This scene, if someone were to push the door open and see it, would possess an inexplicable aura of mystery.

Thus, Li Yu stayed in that room for about ten minutes.

No one knew what he thought.

After smoking two cigarettes, Li Yu returned to the second basement level.

Upon returning to the basement, he saw on a large screen in the corner the footage from surveillance cameras, which Li Hang, Mrs. Li, and others were monitoring in turns.

On a desk beside it, there was also a military radio. At the Big Camphor Tree Base, there were three military radios in total, with one more in Oil City.

Li Yu used the military radio to contact Old Bi over in Oil City.

"How are the preparations for the typhoon defense going?" Li Yu asked.

Now that the typhoon had already reached the Big Camphor Tree Base, there was no need to be subtle with the instructions for precautions.

Old Bi, seeing the clear skies, wouldn’t have believed there’d be such a large typhoon if Li Yu hadn’t personally told him.

At this moment, the typhoon was moving northward at thirty kilometers per hour, expected to reach Oil City in no more than three days.

After hearing Li Yu’s question, Old Bi immediately replied, "We’ve dismantled the comparatively high oil wells, parked vehicles indoors, and blocked the main entrance with two vehicles filled with soil weighing sixty tons each.

I’ve issued a notice that as soon as the typhoon arrives, everyone will go indoors to take cover.

....."

Li Yu continued, "This typhoon is no ordinary one; you can’t take it lightly. The greenhouses at the base were blown apart despite the tall walls.

I anticipate that zombies might be blown over to your side. Since you’re situated on a plain, even though the typhoon might weaken as it reaches you, it’s still not to be underestimated.

Therefore, you should prepare firearms and ammunition; I reckon when the typhoon arrives, you’ll have a tough battle to fight.

In short, make defending against the typhoon your top priority and prepare in every way possible."

Hearing this, Old Bi’s heart tightened.

He had already halted all work in Oil City, even the oil production.

Everyone’s work focused on preparing for the typhoon.

Nail boards on windows, seal the oil wells, and use cranes to place a ten-ton steel plate, preemptively dismantling any structures that might be blown away to prevent them from becoming airborne projectiles.

The oil produced during this time was all stored in barrels and buried underground.

This mobilized over a hundred people in Oil City, all busy with these tasks.

Old Bi replied, "I understand."

He realized this was a matter of life and death for Oil City.

He was well aware of the Big Camphor Tree Base’s solid defenses.

Amidst towering mountains, with dozens of meters high walls, the situation was severe enough; let alone in Oil City, where the walls stood only seven meters high.

Old Bi recalled another matter about a small village not far from Oil City.

There were still some people waiting for tasks from Oil City’s new construction projects.

However, these cooperative personnel were different from those at the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Ever since Li Yu was ambushed by Wan Nian, his attitude towards these personnel had changed slightly.

Not just Li Yu, even Old Bi and others were somewhat wary of these personnel.

However, the people like Wan Nian from last time were all wiped out.

These people were still eagerly hoping for tasks from Oil City to exchange for food.

Apart from these people, most others had left.

Some went further to seek new opportunities, others pursued the resource collection tasks issued by Oil City.

"Director Li, should I give a heads-up to those cooperative personnel outside?" Old Bi hesitated for a moment, ultimately asking.

After all, those people had contributed to Oil City’s repair work.

Li Yu thought for a while and then said, "You can remind them, but don’t let them enter Oil City.

Oil City isn’t like the Big Camphor Tree Base, and you don’t have enough staff; if chaos erupts, you won’t handle it under the typhoon."

Old Bi had no objections to Li Yu’s order.

He understood naturally.

Amid chaos, for some, it’s an opportunity.

Hence, the frequent lockdowns during chaotic times.

"Rest assured, I’ll only remind them to prepare for the typhoon; whether they listen is up to them," Old Bi said.

"Hmm, in any case, be careful of everything. Everything, be careful!"

Li Yu repeated these four words twice, showing the gravity of the situation.

Old Bi promptly replied, "I know."

Afterwards, Li Yu ended the call with Old Bi.

Li Yu stayed on the second basement floor, constantly using the military radio to connect with the inside and outside of the base.

Also, through some intact surveillance cameras, he checked the typhoon’s impact and damage on the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Time passed second by second.

The Big Camphor Tree Base’s wall stood like an uncovered golden bell jar, shielding it.

However, the residual typhoon’s power blowing from above was also formidable.

Beyond the Big Camphor Tree Base.

The rain brought by the typhoon crashed onto the soil like a flood.

In Gan City, the red soil, washed by the downpour, exposed the roots of trees, with the fierce wind whistling.

This wind reached a 20-level speed.

Crack, crack, crack —

Large swathes of trees snapped at the waist under the typhoon.

Like a scythe reaping wheat, it swept a patch in one go.

These trees, with branches and leaves on top burdened by the wind, couldn’t bear it and snapped.

Some of the thicker big trees, rooted deeply.

But precisely because of their lush branches and leaves, they bore massive wind force during such a typhoon.

The soil under big trees suddenly rolled over, roots snapped, then the entire tree was uprooted.

At a glance, the forests in the mountains lay in devastation.

After barely recovering after the last chain of natural disasters, the mountains once again lay in desolation.
